Item Animations

[Rezeyu]

Another quick thing, I'm just in a tutorial mood.
there's probably a much better way to do this, but whatever works.

Find:

Code:

' Index of actual player
Public MyIndex As Long

And add:

Code:

Public ItemAnim As Byte

There? good.
Now lets hit up the map animation timer, search for:

Code:

Change map animation every 250 milliseconds

And add:

Code:

ItemAnim = ItemAnim + 1
            If ItemAnim = 3 Then
                ItemAnim = 0
            End If

Somewhere before the: MapAnimTimer = GetTickCount

Done? Almost there then, head over to BltItem, in the With rec

Now change:

Code:

.Left = 0

To:

Code:

.Left = ItemAnim * 32

Obviously for ever animation frame you want, add +1 to the 'If ItemAnim = 3 Then' line.

If you want to animate seamlessly, without a blank space between frames, change

Code:

ItemAnim = ItemAnim + 1
            If ItemAnim = 3 Then
                ItemAnim = 0
            End If

To:

Code:

ItemAnim = ItemAnim + 1
            If ItemAnim = 2 Then
                ItemAnim = 0
            End If

Thought that might be helpful.

I have three frames to my item animations.

-slaps-

You just assumed he used two frames? Idiot.

[Fabzy]

does this make items in your inventory animated ?

[Rezeyu]

I don't think so, I've never used the visual inventory, so I dunno.

Although making it do so wouldn't be hard.
